Record learning outcomes

More than 97 per cent of the population now has access to online GP services, such as ordering their repeat medicines, according to figures from the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC).

With such a large number of patients in England now able to manage their repeat prescriptions themselves, pharmacy teams may wish to ensure they know which online services their local GP practices offer and where to direct patients who want to learn more or sign up to them, PSNC has suggested on its website.

Pharmacy teams may want to contact GP practice managers in their area to discuss what options are available and where they can direct patients to find out more information. Staff at the GP practice will be able to set up a patient's access and it's worth knowing how the registration procedure works for patients, said PSNC.
